Future-proof your server investment with the new Huawei X6000 High-Density Server from distributor Drive Control Corporation (DCC).
Designed for cloud computing, data centres and Internet applications, this enterprise-class server is cost effective and scalable with optimised architecture. This ensures that the X6000 offers high performance, rich server node options and better energy efficiency, making it the ideal choice for large-scale server deployments.
“This enterprise-class server is reasonably priced, making it ideal for the Small to Medium Enterprise (SME) market as well as large enterprises. It is ideal for a wide range of applications and is highly scalable, so organisations can easily increase capacity on demand for future requirements. In addition, its design is highly energy efficient, helping to further improve cost effectiveness,” says Raul Del Fabbro, manager: Enterprise Solutions at DCC.
The X6000 offers high computing density in a 2U form factor that accommodates four half-width or two full-width server nodes. It features a centralised power supply and cooling for improved energy consumption, and offers a density four times that of a conventional 2U rack server. A front-facing maintenance design and hot-swappable server nodes allow for fast deployment and easy maintenance.
The X6000 also offers excellent energy efficiency and control, with up to 94% power efficiency under a 50% load, reducing power losses and optimising power utilisation. Highly efficient fan modules and an optimised cooling architecture that isolates power air ducts from server nodes increases cooling efficiency and reduces energy consumption. In addition, various other energy-saving technologies are deployed, including fan speed control by location, intelligent fan speed adjustment and intelligent Central Processing Unit (CPU) frequency adjustment.
“Rich server node options provide four half-width server nodes and one full-width server node. The X6000 also offers options for customised server nodes as needed. Half-width server nodes models include the XH310 V2, XH311 V2, XH320 V2, and XH321 V2, and the full-width server node model is the XH621 V2. Each server node is ideal for different applications,” says Del Fabbro.
The XH310 V2 server node is ideal for web access servers. The XH311 V2 is the best choice for servers with a high degree of data reliability. The XH320 V2 lends itself to cloud computing deployments and data centres that require a large number of servers. The XH321 V2 offers high density, performance, and reliability, making it an excellent choice for various computing scenarios. The XH621 V2 is ideal for High-Performance Computing (HPC) scenarios, such as cloud computing deployment and virtualisation.
“The variety of available server nodes and options for customisation ensure that the Huawei X6000 can be applied in multiple different scenarios and tailored to the requirements of a number of environments. They are the ideal high density solution to take enterprises of all sizes into the future,” Del Fabbro concludes.
